Online Class: Advanced CNC Techniques with Basic Features | The primary goal for this course is to expose the student to as many potentially helpful techniques as possible. We present many techniques for the two most popular forms of CNC metal cutting equipment. Students having limited experience with CNC (less than six months) will be shown countless new techniques that can help. Even experienced CNC people may be surprised at how many techniques they have not been shown.
As a secondary goal, we hope to get students thinking outside the box. We call it "aggressive awareness". By seeing how others have solved problems and made improvements, students should begin to see how they can improve their own CNC environments.

Course Description | Many people completing our basic programming courses stated (in the course evaluation) that they would like to see us provide an on-line Advanced CNC Techniques course. Well, here it is! It is the next logical progression from our basic courses. We define an advanced technique as any technique that is not commonly presented in a basic CNC class. Many of the techniques we show are quite easy to understand - they're just not among the first things you learn. Additionally, we say an advanced technique is any technique that you don't currently know about that can help you. Indeed, even many experience CNC people will probably discover techniques that they have not been exposed to. Benefits that can be achieved by applying the techniques we show include reducing setup time, reducing cycle time, improving workpiece quality, shortening programs, making machines easier to run, improving your company's CNC environment, and in general, improving your knowledge of CNC. Indeed, given the high costs associated with running CNC machine tools (and the low price of this course), it's likely you'll pay for the cost of this course with the first technique you apply! We present many techniques for the two most popular forms of CNC metal cutting equipment. For each topic, we'll begin by showing techniques that these two machine types share in common. Next, and when applicable, we'll show machining center-related techniques. Finally, we'll show turning center-related techniques. While this class will be of most value to people that work with both machining and turning centers, even people that work with but one or the other should find plenty of techniques that will help them Note that you need to have two software viewers (Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer and Adobe Acrobat Reader) installed on your computer before you can view material presented in the lessons. Both of these viewers are freely distributed and can be downloaded from our website (www.cncci.com). From our navigation buttons, click SERVICES and then click ON-LINE COURSES. The two viewers can be found at the bottom of this page.
Advanced CNC Techniques with Basic Features is the 6th course in Mike Lynch's CNC Machining Center programming series.

This course offers 1.0 CEUs upon successful completion. You may take this
online course with or without CEU documentation. An online and hard-copy Certificate of Course Completion displaying your coursework and
CEUs earned is included with the CEU Option. We also offer an expedited Transcript Service for sending your accomplishments to a third party.
